This was a true highlight of our visit to Vienna. Father Vahan is an excellent curator and teacher. We enjoyed our visit immensely and would highly recommend this.
There is a lot of history inside the monastery. It was founded in the 17th century. The liquor is one of the best in the world.
The tour was just great. My father (for whom it should be a surprise) was very happy. Father Vahan made the tour quite wonderful. The monastery is breathtaking and there are so many beautiful pieces to visit and interesting information to hear. We were all very enthusiastic and can definitely recommend this tour.
We had a great tour of the monastery including the museum and library. There were many interesting historical items in the museum and Father Vahagn's commentary and tour were great. I learned a couple of new things about Armenian History that day and it was also great to learn about the origins of the Mekhitarist in Vienna. We also taste-tested 3 different Mekhitarist liquor versions (bitter, sweet, and balanced) and were able to purchase some bottles at the end of the tour.
After we first learned something about the history of the Mekhitarists in Vienna, we looked at the church - then the library and the museum. We saw some very impressive paintings. The library was very impressive, not only because of the books, but also because of the furniture. And at the end there was also a liqueur. It was well worth it. The group is not too big either, so it is easy to ask questions.
Today I got richer as an Armenian - I visited Mekhitarist monastery of Vienna, a place of concentration of Armenian wisdom and spirit. Mkhitar of Sebastia, born in 1676,founded his catholic congregation in 1701 in Constantinople.With his fellows he soon left the ottoman empire and founded a monastery in Methoni. After fall of Methoni to the sultan, the monks followed the withdrawing of venetians and received a little island in the laguna of Venice - San Lazzaro. In San Lazzaro was built the mekhitarists monastery and it is standing and functioning there to this day.In 1773 a group of Mekhitarists separated from Venice and opened new monastery in Trieste.In 1805 Trieste was occupied by the French and the monks lost everything as they were seen as Habsburg subjects.Then the monks had to leave Triest and seek refuge in Vienna. Emperor Francis I accepted the monks in 1810 and granted them residence in Vienna. Mekhitarists are considered Armenian Benedictines. The special scope of the Mekhitarists is their dedication to the preservation of the Armenian cultural heritage.The library of the monastery contains 2600 Armenian manuscripts,more than 120,000 books in Armenian. The museum holds art works of Aivazovsky,Bashinjaghyan and other famous Armenian artists, many important historical artefacts such as a flag of the First Republic of Armenia. The Mekhitarist monastery is a unique center of Armenian spiritual and cultural tradition.🇦🇲 This is a must see place for anyone in Vienna.
